He says print and graphic communications professionals are ideally placed to ‘step up’ and take advantages of the new opportunities available in a data-driven marketing. Harris says, “This session will explain how print and personalised communications fit into the marketing technology mix, how you can position your business to capitalise on the opportunities created by data-driven marketing, and give you some examples of current best practice.” Two Sides Australia executive director Kellie Northwood will discuss the findings of the Value of Paper and Print report, which she says confirms the continuing relevance of paper-based communications in a multi-channel world. “Visitors to this session will learn about the latest local and global consumer research and find out why print media is still such a compelling channel, connecting with consumers across all demographics and driving them to action,” Northwood says.
